| Abstract: | The linear stability analysis of interstitial liquid within the mushy layer relative to a steady basic state is performed in order to incorporate the effect of uniform rotation on the onset of convective instability whose existence was found by Anderson and Worster (1996). The full set of non–dimensional governing equations for the temperature field, the local solid fraction and the fluid velocity are reduced asymptotically. In particular, the limit of small dimensionless mushy layer thickness, the limit of small differences between the initial and eutectic compositions of the liquid and the limit of large Stefan number are considered. The square root of Taylor number is assumed to be of the order unity. These simplifying assumptions involved in our analysis lead to a much simplified model which can essentially be solved analytically. |
